Everyone is welcome to come along for a free glass of wine, canapés and a chance to meet the authors who will be giving a brief talk about their work, answering questions from the audience and signing copies of their books.

The event will be hosted by local author Ron Ellis, creator of the Liverpool private eye, Johnny Ace, and he will be joined on the panel by Stuart Pawson (author of the popular DI Charlie Priest crime novels) and Ken McCoy who is well known for his saga novels as well as the Mad Carew mystery titles.

Ken has also appeared on The Good Old Days with his comedy variety act. Local entrepreneur Roy Adams completes the panel with his tales of true crime from his days as a Liverpool club owner.

Roy was recently given a Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his contribution to the hospitality industry and the nightlife of Liverpool between 1957 and 1999 and he will be revealing what life was really like behind the scenes in Liverpool’s infamous clubland scene.

His no-holds barred autobiography, ‘Hard Nights’, has just gone into its fourth edition.
